ABOUT STEAMBOAT SPRINGS
Located in the northwest corner of the state, Steamboat Springs is a world-class ski resort but also provides great mountains, rivers, campgrounds, and hiking/biking trails that make the summer months an excellent time to visit. Our event dates place us just after the busy summer tourist season and just prior to the fall, big-game hunting season followed immediately by the ski season. So it’s a great time to join us for RALLY COLORADO 2009 and either come early or stay late as many competitors did last year to enjoy the fall season in the mountains.
